I Once was a Prosperous River,
With Full flow of Water,
Faster than the Thoughts,
Mightier than Winds of the Mind!
I Once was a Perennial River,
With abundant Mineral Wealth,
For a Good Health along the Belt,
With Sands & Lands of Golden Crop!
I Once was a Resourceful River,
With Streams of Dreams Joining,
Flurrying Strong with Every Rain,
And Fishes Surfing my Waves!
I Once was a Musical River,
With Rhyming Songs of the Boats,
And Sweet Songs of the Birds,
Serene Nature flourished Along!
I Once was a Proud River,
When fellow Rivers Jealous,
Grumbled on my Monopoly,
At Internet Speed in Social Forums!
I Once was a Divine River,
Reigning Rain God then Cursed,
Mighty Ocean then shut-off the Door,
To restore balance of Fuming Rivers!
I Once was an Innocent River,
Regionality was then Imposed,
Caste & Color of Curse was Attached,
And I was Tainted Altogether!
I Once was a Crystal Clear River,
Contaminated then with Corrupt Waste,
Became a Junkyard to dump with Hate,
Finally discarded with a Haste!
I Once was a Glorious River,
Will I ever be a River Again?
Or will I become History,
With no Rescue for Recovery!
